Over the past two years, Instagram has provided a mobile platform for millions of people to share filtered photos of everything from sunsets to cups of coffee. And yes, even food.
And now, the folks over at D2M are trying to provide a way for you to share these photos in a different way, with their Android-based, Instagram feeding photo frame...
Following up on June's big update, Instagram today pushed out a major new version to its mobile app for iOS and Android, bringing with it a bunch of changes, visual tweaks and interesting new features. The app's explore tab and the photo upload screen have been re-worked with cleaner layout, the experience feels much snappier and you can now browse geotagged images in an all-new Photo Maps view...
Between its 8MP sensor and internet connectivity, the iPhone 4S is one of the best point-and-shoot cameras around. It can download thousands of photo-editing apps and upload images to a number of services.
But the lack of interchangeable lenses, a weak flash, and other missing features means that the iPhone won't be replacing your DSLR anytime soon. Unless, of course, you had something like the 3RDi camera kit...
Searching for a quick way to access meta data for photos stored on your iPhone? If you're jailbroken, then a new Cydia tweak might be just what the doctor ordered.
PhotoExif is a recently released tweak that makes it easy to access photo meta data using the photo app's share button. Take a look inside for the full video walkthrough...
Plenty of photo editors span the App Store but few are as holistic as HalfPeeled's "PhotoMojo!" Boasting a clever assortment of photo editing tools that easily surpass Instagram, PhotoMojo! is a crafty and fun attempt to shoulder onto a much larger stage.
The app utlizes the Aviary engine to drive photo enhancements from speech bubbles to filters and offers many ways to share your new favorite photo...
Shared Photo Streams is a new feature in iOS 6 that allows you to selectively share photo albums with friends and family of your choosing. Unlike the My Photo Stream feature which is geared only towards individual photo sharing amongst iOS devices and computers owned by you, Shared Photo Streams brings a social element to iOS photography.
The streaming element comes from the fact that you can dynamically add or remove photos from a shared album and they will almost instantaneously appear or disappear on demand. Album viewers can also comment and like your photos, and you will receive push notifications any time someone does so.
Take a look at our full video walkthrough above for a look into how Shared Photo Streaming works.
Instagram just pushed out a new version of its iOS app, the first update following its $1 billion deal with Facebook.
Instagram version 2.5 brings out half a dozen new features, including a revamped profiles tab, a brand new Explore section and the ability to share your likes to Facebook, to name a few.
If anything, we now know Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was telling the truth when he promised to maintain Instagram as a standalone app.
Full changelog and screenies after the break...
It's always interesting to see the different patent applications that Apple submits to the USPTO. Even though most of them rarely make it into consumer products, they give us a glimpse inside Apple's top secret R&D labs.
The latest one to surface in the United States Patent and Trademark Office database covers a device with a removable back panel, which could bring about swappable camera lenses and other attachements...
Don't feel like waiting for iOS 6 for native Facebook integration? Then try FacebookThis on for size.
While it won't give you system-wide Facebook integration at the level that's bound to be present in iOS 6, it will lend you the ability to easily share your photos directly from your Camera Roll. Want to see how this jailbreak tweak works in action? Take a look inside for a hands-on video walkthrough...
Dater is a recently released jailbreak tweak that adds a few nifty identification features to the photos in your camera roll.
First and foremost are the timestamps. Dater adds timestamps to all of the photos contained within the camera roll, and it will even retroactively add stamps to photos that already exist prior to installing the tweak. Don't worry; the timestamps aren't hardcoded on your photos, so they don't actually appear when you export or print them.
The timestamps are a very nice feature, but not alone worth the $0.99 asking price. Fortunately, there's more to Dater than what initially meets the eye...
So this is pretty cool: Autodesk, the maker of the popular 3D design software AutoCAD, has just released a new app for the iPad called 123D Catch. The software enables you to capture 3D images of things using your tablet's camera.
No, you won't need any glasses to view these pictures. Simply use the app to snap photos of almost any object (it doesn't work well with glass) from multiple angles, and let Autodesk's 3D rendering software take care of the rest...
I've really gotten into iPhoneography within the last couple months and my most used app for processing images is without a doubt Snapseed. Available as a universal download in the App Store, Snapseed hadn't been updated for the iPad Retina display until today.
But Retina display support isn't the only new addition in this updated version...
